Due to the labor intensive nature of these creations, he sells them for a lot of money - esp. if they get bid up on ebay. He also takes private commissions.

He now has a blog - and announced he had been chosen to contribute funky items to the new ScyFy show.

BTW - it seems that steampunk is highly under-represented in ebook form - China Mieville only recently became available.
